Health Freedom
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Thomas Jefferson
 
See Convenient Links below.
 
Our freedom to choose natural, nutritional and alternative approaches to our health is constantly under siege from powerful and well-funded forces that have much to gain from our blind dependence on the conventional pharmaceutical/medical industry. Protect your rights:

• Vote with your dollars. The marketplace follows the money. For example, if you reject toxic products, more natural ones will be made. Even if your insurance doesn’t cover all the cost, it pays to reward the doctors that have made the effort to understand nutrition and prevention. Sadly, in Washington the “Golden Rule” applies but it is “He who has the gold makes the rules.”

• Help build the citizen pressure needed to force improvements in health care. For example, let your friends know about the Healthy by Nature Show so that they can become informed about how to prevent disease.

• Don’t believe everything you hear on TV or read in the newspapers or email. The big media is ever more budget-restricted and often doesn’t do original reporting. The may just pass on what they hear from other media or parrot without questioning what they hear from so-called “authorities” and air the prepackaged propaganda they are given by big companies.

• Develop some comfort communicating with your legislative representatives before there is a crisis. A visit to their local office is great, but a quick call, an email or even a postcard will be a start. Just tell them in your own words what you believe. Are you in favor of having many choices in healthcare, not just the mainstream drug and surgical approach? Are you interested in having more research into prevention and non-toxic therapies? Finding your legislators is easy. See below.
If you ignore health freedom, the issue won’t go away but your freedom may.
